Statement of Senator Cassano on Budget Vote in Senate

Senator Steve Cassano, D-Manchester, said, "There’s an old expression that goes 'If everybody hates it, you must be doing something right.' That’s the position the legislature is in now. The four caucuses came together and everybody gave up something, and everybody agreed to support something they may not like. In the end this budget moves Connecticut forward, and it’s my hope that the process we’ve been through over the past several months is a harbinger of the type of bipartisan cooperation that we can see in the future."
